Angiolini

Angiolini is an Italian surname. It is a patronymic form derived from the given name Angelo, with the diminutive and patronymic suffix -ini, meaning “little Angelo” or “descendants of Angelo.” The construction reflects a common pattern in Italian naming, where a person is identified by a parent’s name or belonging to a family associated with that name.

Historically, Angiolini would have arisen as a family designation in medieval or early modern Italy, as populations grew and communities developed hereditary surnames. The suffix -ini is widespread in Italian surnames, signaling lineage or belonging to a particular family group, and Angiolini is related in form to other Angelo-derived names.

In present usage, Angiolini is found among Italian communities and in countries with Italian diasporas. While precise regional concentrations can vary over time due to migration and demographic change, the surname is attested in Italian civil records and genealogical sources.

Notable individuals bearing the surname Angiolini may exist across various fields, but no single figure is universally recognized as defining the name. For further context on the given name from which it is derived, see Angelo.
